Avengers7 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I was wondering how everybody keeps their autos safe and sound. I've got over 200 and keep them in a hardback portfollio that fits 10 by 8 but am not sure this is the safest thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 My Buffy and Angel autographs I have framed on the wall. I keep my other autographs in a photo album. Protects them and keeps them on display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber15 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I too have an album which has acid free sleeves to protect the autographs, but it's full now so I need a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naurarwen_fangorn Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Wheres the best place to get the acid free plastic wallets and any ideas how much they are??? I need like 300 of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 They are about £20 for a box of 100 the trading card dealers usually have some and you want Ultra Pro acid free sleeves. They may be able to be found cheaper online, though I'm not sure where. As for keeping them. Well I used to have a lot on display on the wall, but took them all down and now file them in the above mentioned sleeves and in folders. A friend of mine even keeps hers in a fire and waterproof safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurenx Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have my autos in an acid free album, but my favourite ones are framed and on display Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyKid197 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) I don't have that many (I'm not that fussed about the autographs themselves) but I bluetack them to my door, and the wardrobe. Same with photos of family/friends. I want to be able to see them, not put away into an album. Though I'm running out of furniture space...

Raylenth Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Wheres the best place to get the acid free plastic wallets and any ideas how much they are??? I need like 300 of them Forbidden Planet sell them, they have an online shop so have a look there. If you can wait for the event I'm sure there will be someone there selling them.

danvader123@hotmail.co.uk Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Yeah the best way is to frame your autos, if its a 8x10 pic i buy a poster and mount it onto a poster in a suitable place that looks good and frame it in expensive work lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebredy Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) My fiance and I are trying to get most of ours up on the wall, it will also help us to sort through the others and decide which ones we no longer want, cause some actors (god only knows why) we have like 3/4 autos from them, and we really do not need that many of anyone. We put a mount round the photo (with the sig on) so that the photo isn't touching the glass, then it gets framed , and we use protective glass as well. The rest, well some are in special albums like the ones people above have mentioned and the others are just in normal, none asid free sleeves, with either plain white paper or grease proof kitchen paper in-between the auto and the outside of the sleeve, its always worked for us....

Little Miss Idiot Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I'll be shot for this, mine are shoved neatly in a kitchen drawer, it's nice to look at them occasionally but for me, I prize the actually moment I spent with the actors, the autograph for me was just the method to go and meet them.

Emma_Adams Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 i keep mine in hard, solid plastic wallets, then blue tak them to the side of my wardrobe, but i have ran out of space, so, like everything else in my room, there are some on the floor *in wallets XD* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookies41 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I keep mine in the autograph holders in my drawer in my room. I've only got a small amount but if collection gets bigger it would be nice to put them in a folder or something but im not sure what is best to do with them. Any ideas from people and where is best to get them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I only get DVDs or posters signed, that's the best thing for multiple sigs as I can add more to it as times passes - I don't like to have just one sig on one 10x8 all to themselves unless it's a director in which case they'll sign a 10x17 mini-poster.

linz_loonyintraining Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 i put them in black frames so they all match. we are moving house this week and i was hoping to hang them all in the hallway, like a hall of fame lol. but we arn't allowed to put anything on the wall so i'm going to have to re-think what to do with them. i have some ideas but will have to see how much room is left one we got everything else in.

dazzlerjames Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I've got a few on the wall in the office but like Nicky I prefer posters multi signed - they look better and take up less room. The other 10x8's are in a photalbum!! I used to have loads on the wall in an older office which got burgled (it wasn't insured) so lost (brings tears to my eyes) - Peter Cushing, Alec Guinness (both in person sigs), De Niro, The Krays and a very rare sebastian shaw (old anakin in return of the jedi) plus about 20 others. They never apepared on ebay so were probably dumped somewhere (most were personalised) That's why I only display a few now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunglock Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I've only got four autographs so far, so they're all in a plastic thingy people sell at Collectormania, and blu-tacked on my wall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophelia Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) I keep mine in the top loaders you can buy from the comic book stands at Collectormania. Does anyone know if they are acid free, I've never thought about it before? Edited May 5, 2008 by Ophelia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
